So, last week we built and raced cars. We also shot video of the whole thing. This week, we are taking the video that we shot and editing it into a movie. Pretty basic right? No. Turns out video editing is pretty hard.

This week the students took the paper dinosaurs that they had already made and made them the star of their own comic strip! They started by taking photos of their dinosaurs in various positions to tell the story. Then they erased the backgrounds and added their own.

Today we finished up our papercraft Dinosaurs! It was a big job (and Molly ended up doing most of the work), but the finished results speak for themselves.

After we finished our dinosaurs it was time to learn how to use cameras. The students went through a quick camera boot camp to learn about the settings and picture taking techniques and then shot some photos of their dinos.

After that it was time for more Photoshop. The kids' Pixlr.com skills
translated to Adobe Photoshop Elements and next week we'll pick up where
we left off.
